The Sierra Nevada Ecosystem Project (SNEP) is an assessment of the entire Sierra Nevada ecoregion (California and western Nevada). The study was requested by Congress in 1992, was completed in June, 1996, and was funded by Congress and the U.S. Forest Service.
In 2007 a distributed graduate seminar at eight universities analyzed the recently completed state wildlife action plans. We interviewed agency personnel and stakeholders in all 50 states to document impacts of the plans on conservation activities, current challenges to implementation, and enabling mechanisms that have accelerated conservation progress.
